The successor to the legendary Avenger-class Leviathan
used in the Third Interstellar War, the Allegiance is
effectively a mobile starbase, capable of being anywhere
in Anmari or neighboring space within 3 days and
deploying its extensive fightercraft complement to gain
space control, air superiority, and, if needed, conduct
a planetary invasion. The Allegiance can go toe-to-toe
with entire cruiser squardons and expect victory. The
expense of all this power, however, is a relatively slow
sublight speed rating and sluggish maneuverability, even
with its gravimetric maneuver drive. Individual units
are also tremendously expensive; it is believed that
mass production of the Flight II Allegiance-class fleet
caused the near-collapse of the Anmari economy in the
3360s. Flight III, commissioned in time to participate
in the Fourth Interstellar War, is expected to fill the
United Commonwealth's military needs well into the 35th
century, when it may be supplanted by the Legacy-class
Leviathan.
